So your suggestion is he and his wife change careers and stay home with the kids. Helpful.

He asked how we all survived. There you have it funny guy. Worked for me.

Maybe you should have a little more of a can do attitude

Stay away from coffee

Both of my boys are in daycare and we are sick what feels like every other week. It’s terrible. I know this doesn’t help

Created a couple businesses and now stay home with them and work the phone, computer and papers when the woman is working. When she’s off I go do what I need to do.

*2 years Doing this and combined kids have only had 3 minor illnesses such as a cold. Before this they had all the bad viruses almost monthly.

Kids now 4,3, 11 months. Too much illness in daycare.

Don’t worry they’ll just get all the same ones in kindegarten

Horrible advice.

Best way to avoid being sick is boost your own natural immune system.

So everything you were told during COVID, do the exact opposite.

Don't use hand sanitizer throughout the year.
Exercise.
Wash hands less.
Drink lots of OJ or Vitamin C supplements.
Don't mask up.

My wife watches 3 kids throughout the day along with our 2 and 5 year old. We also have a 12 year old in 7th grade. One kid she watches plus our 5 year old goes to preschool. Both the younger 2 spend a few hours at YMCA child watch as well.

Our kids are sick a bunch during early spring and around this time. This time around it seems faster now than last year.

Blame it on the mask mandate.

Don’t be poor and have an in home nanny.

J/k I agree with the posters saying take care of yourself. Regular exercise and a good diet. Just started taking better care of myself this past year and know it helps. The colds and other illnesses have come but they haven’t hit me nearly as hard as prior years.

Have a 4&2 year old. There’s been a sickness in our house since preschool started in august. Just have to accept it lol

For real, though, this is a hidden cost of daycare. Lots of those - you might be surprised how quality of life improves with mom staying home with the kids, even though it doesn't look that way on a spreadsheet.

Wife stayed home when kids were little. When they go to school they seem to be sick a little more than the daycare kids.

Still better imo because they're 6 instead of 1 or 2.

How did you all survive the first cold/flu season with your kid in daycare? I can count on one hand the number of days I haven't been sick this month. This is miserable! Any tips?

I’ve got one in daycare, one in all day preschool, and one in first grade, so it typically comes from everywhere. It’s crazy they haven’t been sick much for a year now.
